As spring moves into summer, the invasive species are thriving in the pastures. Producers spend time and money each year trying to control the invasives. Time and money are the 2 most important factors in a farmer’s life today. We all have those spots that do not get bushhogged let alone getting a chemical applied yearly. So, the Morgan SWCD and The OSU Extension are putting together an evening that adds a new meaning to chemical treatment of invasive species. This technique is not new to some, but it is to others.
Fred Kungl, founder of FK Agronomics and CEO of J&G Cattle Co. LLC, will be demonstrating a DJI Agras T40 drone to apply a chemical treatment to treat invasives on a typical Morgan County hillside pasture. FK Agronomics will be demonstrating a chemical application with the drone on the invasives in the pasture. Ted Wiseman, Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension Educator, (Perry County) will review different invasive species and how to treat those species. This is also your opportunity to come out and meet the new Morgan County Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension Educator, Jordan Penrose.
We will be at the Bobby McInturf Farm: 2277 McInturf Rd. Stockport, OH 43787, on Monday, August 12, 2024, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.
For more information, feel free to reach out to the Morgan SWCD office at 740-962-4234 or the Morgan County Extension Office at 740-962-4854. Light supper and handouts will be provided so we are requesting an RSVP by August 2, 2024 Be sure to bring your lawn chairs and enjoy the evening.
